Topic Reading-Vol.1946-8/9/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Los Angeles reaches deal with Olympic leaders for 2028 Games
As reported in Vol.1921 on July 15th, Paris and Los Angeles set to host 2024 and 2028 Olympic Games because no other city wanted to. The two finalists were given a chance to decide which city would take which of the two events, 2024 or 2028, and LA came to choose the latter only within two weeks. It seems like quite a swift decision to make considering the cost and investment, public interest and support, and business and marketing to bring the world sports event together.
But why 2028, not 2024? Who will still be sitting in the office or taking the role in the city to coordinate and organize such a huge and complex project of this scale for that long?
One thing for sure is that the incumbent president of the host country will not be sitting in the oval office in 2028. Indeed, California is Democrats state.
Enjoy reading and thinking why LA and the US Olympic Committee didn’t want 2024.
